I too have chased those clouds
through bitter rain
Determined that their
dream re mained
I've gone about
as far as I can reach
But they continue well
beyond the beach
Endlessly goading, they drift out to sea
I wish they'd mock me,
but they took no notice of me
Disappear ing past the horizon
The constant hope of every pirate
in India
And I'm left down here to perish
in the blue hour
Well I bet her angels dare
to dream to come true
Through the halls her wings rumble
I feel their power
And I know for a fact that heaven is blue
And I know for a fact that heaven
What is blue?
Oh, a steeple and a steering wheel
One with my lance and one with my shield
Atop a wooden horse I make my ride
Desperate to make it to the other side
Within the broken toys there is a place
Lost and enchanted
and I can al most see its face
A Don Quixote or more Ponstilion
Waging the battle or just chasing
what was always gone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
And I'm left down here to perish
in the blue hour
where the better angels
dare their to come true.
Walls and wings rumble,
I feel their power,
and I know for a fact that
heaven is blue.
And I know for a fact that heaven is beau tiful
Before the summer wakes
in the Austin skies
It makes me happy till I start to cry
One star above the shores of Elbow Key
I wish you'd mock me
but it al ways spoke so gently
to me
The possibilities of lullabies
and nightmares join
And there's no fear,
just who I'm with, George
I've a feeling I know what I can do
But close my eyes and dream of telling
it all to you
And I'm left on the other side
of blue hour
With a better angel's tear
dream to come true
The halls of wind rumble,
I feel their power
And I know for a fact that
heaven is blue
And I'd like it last a little longer
in the blue hour
With a better angel's tear
dream to come true
The halls of wind rumble,
I feel their power
And I know for a fact
that heaven is good
And I know for a fact that heaven is good
It's blood, it's blood
